Annual Daddy Daughter Camping Trip

At the end of every summer Trent takes the girls 4 and older on a camping trip. They took the trailer and went up near Heise Hot Springs. They spent 2 nights away and had a ball with dad!

Family time at Yellowstone National Park

We went a little family get-a-way to Island Park and stayed at the cabin and went to Yellowstone National Park. We started at Old Faithful...

Brynly with the binocs and Lexy catching some zzzzz's.

Trent could not get enough of these Elk...

Look how close this buffalo was...not so sure about the man in the passenger seat with the weird pose.

So Trent insisted that we drive through the entire park. I get car sick so I drove the entire way. We were on about the 5th or so hour of boring drive when Lexy yells that she needs to go potty...we were no where close to a potty. She is NOT one to just go outside either, she needs a good clean bathroom before anything can happen. We tell her the very next one we will stop, she says it at least 2 or so more times and we are in the middle of nowhere. The next thing we know she is throwing up all over Brynly's feet, that started pure chaos. Brynly starts freaking out, screaming, and dry heaving. Meanwhile Lexy is crying and screaming that she got vomit it all over her dress, and keep in mind that Trent does not handle throwing up well AT ALL. This was extremely not awesome. We had to strip Lexy down and wash her stuff out in the creek, wipe up the car, and then try to calm down Brynly who ran out of the car and was standing by a tree 15 feet away from the car still dry heaving and furious. In order to get Brynly to get back in the car and to stay in the car (because she couldn't stand the smell that you could hardly smell after we cleaned) she had to put a cinnamon old fashioned candy up to her nose the rest of the way out. I think another decade will be sufficient before I need to visit Yellowstone again, and note to self...Lexy gets car sick! :)

Riding Horses at Grandpa Dabells

Brynly loving riding...

Emry loving riding....

Lexy not so much...

She likes riding with dad better! :)

Teeball and Softball

It's no exaggeration that we spend at least half our summer at the park. We ran the baseball program again for the City of Iona, we had 64 teams over 800 kids. We enjoy getting to know those in the community and watching our kids play. Emry's team was the Sluggerettes, Brynly was on two softball teams...Ponytail Express and Her-ricanes. I absolutely love to watch my girls play sports and to watch Trent coach them...I am pretty sure Trent loves it as much or more than them. Brynly played more than 30 games of Softball this season!! She is a good little player! Emry liked Teeball, but sometime she liked playing in the dirt more! :) Emry's team lost only one or two games and they played up a level. Brynly's teams were young and they didn't have a whole lot of success, but they improved a TON! It was a fun season for sure!
